sincere
As he spoke, the crow hiding in the nearby bushes poked its head out, tilted its head, spread its wings and flew to the boy's side.
Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the boy's face, then he reacted and said with a smile: "It's okay, you are the one who was at the State Guest House before-?"
The young man curved his eyes at her and bowed again under Xiao Yingzhu's indifferent gaze.
"My name is Mo Qing, you can just call me by my first name, Miss."
"But I still have to feed this little guy now, so I'm sorry to bother you any further. So, goodbye."
As soon as he finished speaking, as if afraid of being punished, Mo Qing held the psychic crow, turned around and disappeared outside the pavilion.
...walking really fast.
However, because of his interruption, Jiang Nian suddenly felt a little relaxed.
She reconsidered her words and nodded to Xiao Yingzhu: "I understand what you mean, so it's not too late to tell me after these things are dealt with."
She is not an unreasonable person.
Now that you know the whole story, let's get along for a while longer.
As for where this relationship will eventually end after these things are dealt with, that is not the question she should think about first.
Xiao Yingzhu let go of her hand, nodded slightly, and handed the fan to her again.
"Just in case, don't forget to bring it with you when you go to Zuihualou."
The fan with intricate patterns fell into his hands again. The red and black colors were dazzling. Jiang Nian lowered his eyes and looked at this strange yet familiar fan, and finally closed his palm.
"Thank you." She said with a faint smile, "I won't let you down at a time like this."
"If 'Lu' is related to the goddess, then I can find out more about the mines, but..."
Jiang Nian sighed, "If I'm the only one lurking in Zuihualou, the information I can gather will be limited. Xiao Yingzhu, I need a helper who can pass on the information."
If we can capture the goddess alive, the information we get will be more complete and accurate.
But even if we can't catch the goddess, it would be fine to catch 'Lu'.
After all, with her current combat strength, it is impossible for her to capture any of them.
After obtaining intelligence, you can only pass the message to others and let them take responsibility.
Xiao Yingzhu returned to his original nonchalant look, but perhaps because of what he had just said, his eyes did not fall on her face. His eyelashes drooped, casting a fine shadow.
"Well, the person who just appeared will be your helper in the future."
"?" Jiang Nian paused for a moment, not expecting such a coincidence. "Is it something I need to explain later?"
Qin Lan seemed to be preparing something for her, but because it was an item, she couldn't follow up on their progress so as not to appear to be supervising them.
The mission of Huachaohui was completed, and the matters of Meng Yao and Shuanghua could only be dealt with after the subordinates were found. As soon as she had some free time, she naturally started her old job and adjusted the insect repellent plan.
Therefore, I have recently been learning about the material information here in Cang County in order to choose a mine that is more suitable for the insect repellent method.
"Well, after all, if we lose you, subsequent plans will be difficult to carry out, so we should make more preparations."
Xiao Yingzhu seemed to be lost in thought, and tapped the table with her fingertips: "Are you worried?"
"——" Jiang Nian laughed, "That's not the case. After all, I am well aware of the strength of our Intelligence Pavilion Master, so I naturally trust him."
"I just didn't expect everyone to bother with me so much. I'm inexplicably flattered."
It had been a long time since he had spoken out his true feelings. Jiang Nian curled up his fingers, lowered his eyes to look at the fan in his hand for a while, and then clenched it tightly.
"......." Xiao Yingzhu smiled softly, "From now on, I'll have to rely on you to complete this task."
The coolness of the fan handle passed through his hand. Jiang Nian raised his eyes and shook his head slightly. "I can't accomplish this by myself. It's better to say that I can only be useful with your help. Why are you being so polite all of a sudden?"
This development was so strange that she couldn't help but curl her eyes slightly in the middle of her words.
"Xiao Yingzhu is such an awkward person."
"If some things could be spoken out, there would be fewer misunderstandings."
The rumors spread among the people were also spread because of misunderstanding of him.
But this matter is beyond Xiao Yingzhu's control.
After today's confession, she could more or less understand Xiao Yingzhu.
"Really?"
Xiao Yingzhu looked up at the lush green viewing area not far away.
"Some things, if said too much, can easily be manipulated by others, and over time, it becomes difficult to speak openly."
"It's important to be on guard against others. I can't predict who will backstab me in the future, so I haven't explained many things."
The skylight gradually dispersed, casting a layer of golden light on the ends of his hair.
When talking about these things that have not been revealed for many years, his face seemed to be more relaxed, and some shadows of the emotions that were usually hidden under his false appearance could be seen.
Very short, just a moment.
But it is indeed real, not a pretense.
Jiang Nian tilted his head and looked at him under the golden sky.
The facial features that she had seen countless times were already imprinted in her mind, but it seemed that she would never get tired of looking at these beautiful eyebrows and eyes.
Under the soft light, his aggressiveness seemed to be hidden. The fact that he didn't feel a chill when looking at Xiao Yingzhu at such a close distance was probably only today.
Jiang Nian couldn't say things like "You can tell me". After all, even she herself couldn't speak out the things that were accumulating in her heart. What she could say today was already her maximum limit.
So she just looked at Xiao Yingzhu quietly and raised her hand to touch the pendant.
"No problem. The fact that this pendant can exist even amidst contradictions is proof enough that many things, even without explanation, persist due to a common purpose."
—
"Master, is this blueprint complete? No further revisions are needed, right?"
The soldiers of the Wu Department looked at the gradually setting light of the sunset, picked up the blueprint on the table that had been revised countless times and was finally very similar to the original version, and handed it to Qin Lan.
After synchronizing the thief's information with Yu Bu, Ai came back from outside the conference room and leaned over to report to Qin Lan what he saw when passing by.
"Duke Xiao and Miss Jiang are in the pavilion in the backyard. Would you like to go and take a look?"
"...What should I do?" Qin Lan turned around and took a look at the blueprint handed over by Wu Buqu. "I'm not very interested in their affairs right now."
Ai blinked, stood up straight, and had no objection to Qin Lan's words.
It's just that the mission has been changed at this moment.
"Okay, then I'll go look at the repair map with the Wing Division."
Ai was indeed an honest child. He believed Qin Lan's words and turned around to walk out of the house. However, before he had taken a few steps, Qin Lan stopped him.
"--etc."
He looked at the drawings for a few seconds, nodded to his subordinates with half satisfaction, and turned to ask Ai.
"Where were they, you said?"
—
Walking out of the viewing area with Xiao Yingzhu, Jiang Nian was holding a fan in her hand, looking down and thinking about how to hide it perfectly in her sleeve, when the hurried footsteps in front of her attracted her attention.
Mo Qing, who had just gone to feed the crows, returned here again.
He had something to report, so he smiled at Jiang Nian, then moved closer to Xiao Yingzhu and whispered a few words to him.
Mo Qing was involved in rescuing the victims that day because of the children's cries for help, so he followed up on the subsequent progress.
However, after the previous fight with Yu He, he cut off contact with the victims. He did not expect that unnecessary complications would arise again at the subsequent Flower Festival, so he had to take on the task of stabilizing the victims.
Jiang Nian didn't know what they were talking about, so he slowed down his pace and didn't look at Xiao Yingzhu until Mo Qing left again.
The other party noticed Jiang Nian's gaze, then looked over sideways and explained lightly.
"Have you heard from Ai about the incident where Xizhen and Qin Lan encountered a child helping them?"
Jiang Nian was not involved in this matter from beginning to end, so he only knew the general process.
"Well, I've heard some snippets. Are these matters resolved now?"
Xiao Yingzhu shook his head slightly. He pondered for a moment before picking out some key points and briefly telling them.
"As you thought, after they encountered the child and discovered the mark of the Wu Mi people, it was Xi Zhen and Mo Qing who were responsible for following up."
"The children's parents are the same people as those who disappeared. They were all kidnapped and taken to the Wumi tribe's base for experimentation. They were sacrificed."
"That's what you call an experimental subject in your time."
"After being transformed into extraordinary strength, Wu Mizhong originally intended to release them on purpose, using us to infiltrate Yu He's subordinates, and try to do something to disrupt our sight."
"However, after Mo Qing and Yu He had taken over, another faction of the Wu Mi people intervened. This faction of Wu Mi people was different from the Wu Mi people who had originally kidnapped the experimental subjects. Because of their disagreement, someone lurking among Yu He's subordinates took action and abducted those people, turning them into invaders of the Huachao Society."
"The people who kidnapped the experimental subjects are from Wu Mi Zhongli who opposed Meng Jian's decision to bring Meng Yao into the group. They hate the Cang County governor and Meng Yao, and they want to use the invaders to kill Meng Yao and the governor's daughter."
"But as you can see, Princess Qingping intervened and tried to get the murderous leader of the invaders to escape. As a result, these invaders have become victims again and are now waiting for their new home outside the mansion."
"...Won't they be controlled by the prefect?"
Jiang Nian frowned when he heard so many twists and turns for the first time.
"If the Wumi people are divided into two factions, then could it be the Second Prince's faction that is trying to place the experimental subjects under the command of the commander?"
Xiao Yingzhu glanced at Qin Lan who was walking towards them and shook her head slightly: "The people on the Goddess' side also want to place spies on Yu He's side to observe the situation."
"But one thing is certain."
Mo Qing came over to tell him just now that this was the information he had obtained from the invader.
"The one who wanted the experimental subject to kill Meng Yao and the prefect's daughter was someone under the Goddess's command."
Jiang Nian followed Xiao Yingzhu's gaze and saw Qin Lan walking towards them. He turned around and asked hesitantly, "Why?"
"The goddess has great influence on the Wumi people and is a person of great influence among the Wumi people in Cang County."
Xiao Yingzhu looked away from Qin Lan and towards Jiang Nian: "She's worried that Meng Yao will attract too many nobles and weaken her influence."
"Then the Goddess's purpose in experimenting on these people is—?"
The moment before Qin Lan arrived, Xiao Yingzhu succinctly answered her: "Of course, it's to make her subsequent plans more feasible."
“…”
The moment Qin Lan looked over, Jiang Nian stopped asking questions and suppressed his thoughts.
There are some things you should understand clearly before going to Zuihualou.
She has to find time to go see Xizhen.
